Wild West knife-throwing arcade

Knife Outlaw: Wild Frontier

Time each throw at a spinning target, avoid your own blades and face a boss every fifth level.

On the frontier, timing is everything

Knife Outlaw: Wild Frontier is a test of timing. Tap to throw a knife at a spinning wooden target and land every blade without striking one that is already stuck in it. The levels never run out, and a new world starts every five levels.

From level 16, worlds add hazards such as crosswinds, ice that makes blades drift, an orbiting fireball, lava arcs and a target that fades in and out. Bosses speed up, change direction, hide behind a rotating shield or vanish for a moment. Earn gold and gold dust to unlock knives and permanent upgrades.

Worlds, bosses and blades

01

10 worlds

A new world begins every five levels, from Desert Plains and Red Canyon to Ice Peak, Iron Mine and Ghost Town. From level 16, five of them add a hazard, at half strength until level 50.

02

Boss battles

Every fifth level is a fight with one of five bosses, such as the Shield Marshal and its rotating barrier or the Lemon Bandit, which reverses on every hit. On later passes the bosses learn new tricks.

03

13 knife skins

Collect 13 knives in five rarity tiers, from Common to Legendary, each with its own perk. Buy them or forge them for gold, and win the rarest from bosses, achievements and the login calendar.

04

Prestige upgrades

Once you have reached level 50, an Outlaw Reboot sends you back to level 1 for 25 gold dust. Spend gold dust on six permanent upgrades, such as Steady Hand, which lowers the blades needed per level.

05

Combos and flawless clears

Quick successive hits raise a score multiplier of up to 3x. Land about a third of a level's throws in the sweet spot, the middle of the widest gap, for a 15-gold flawless bonus.

06

Daily challenge and leaderboard

A daily challenge applies one of five modifiers, such as a 20-second timer or a smaller target. Sign in with Google Play Games to post your best score to the global leaderboard and sync your progress.
